Dawn of the Ash Tower

.,

"You said that Baron Gray who left Zhuoliu Town last night was a fake?" Lothar asked with a look of disbelief.It wasn't a day or two since he had known Baron Gray. Although he didn't like this eccentric pharmacist Lothar, he didn't need to know that person too well to judge the authenticity of a person by his words and demeanor.

"I'm afraid so. Lord Earl, even I suspect that Baron Gray who came to Zhuoliu Town was not himself from the beginning." Cheese naturally saw the huge corpse of the giant rat man on the way here, and from the nearby soldiers It is not difficult to hear the deeds of the Earl of Montenegro defeating a giant enemy one-on-one.So for the mage, Lothar let them go during the day's trial, which is enough to prove that this person can be won, and his record also shows that the earl is not as exaggerated as he seems, his courage Both power and force are worthy of recognition, so Cheese unconsciously used honorifics when talking with him.

"Not me? You mean... Gray died after arriving in Zhuoliu Town? But I have met him no less than ten times in the past few days, including dining together twice. If someone pretends to be him , I have no reason why I can’t see it?” A trained hunting dog can easily smell the scent of prey, and veterans who have experienced battles also have their own special intuition for danger. If you want to lie in front of them, even if you have experienced special Trained spies should also carefully control their words and deeds.And Lothar's consistent impression is that people often regard the earl as a simple warrior, so there are many guys who despise him and are picked out by the earl.So Lothar has always believed in his own judgment.

Cheese was not surprised by the Earl of Montenegro's reaction. If the person who killed and pretended to be Baron Gray was an ordinary person, even if he was a long-planned spy who had imitated the Baron's behavior and language for many years, the mage believed that he could not Lothar retreated completely in front of him.So Cheese can understand Lothar's incredibleness, but at the same time the mage also knows that there are far more things in this world that are better at imitating humans than ordinary people think.

"Soul-eating monsters, or similar names, I don't know what they are called in the Cangshi Kingdom, or there is no such thing here at all." Cheese said.

"The true body of this kind of thing itself is just a group of shapeless black shadows, but because they were first created by the devil to sneak into the interior of mortals, they have abilities that those things that have a shape do not have. How should I put it, These guys are like leeches on the spiritual level, they will attach themselves to humans or other living things in imperceptible forms, such as shadows that are darker than others or continuous nightmares. And then they will continue absorb the memory and mind of the victim. But in this process, the victim’s performance will not be abnormal, because the things attached to him will help him temporarily make up for their deficiencies. When this spiritual leech When the memory of the victim is wiped out, that unlucky guy will die of brain failure. Then the black shadow will change from his shadow to the real body, with exactly the same memories and feelings as the real body. After that, it will only It needs to dispose of the body of the main body, such as using a big fire, and it can take over the life of the victim without any gap."

Lyon and Lothar looked at each other, they had never heard of what Cheese said.But this does not affect their understanding of the horror of this kind of alien that the mage said.After thinking for a while, Leon understood what the topic suddenly brought up by cheese was pointing to.

"You mean, Baron Gray has died from the monster you mentioned. And the person Lothar saw last night was the monster itself?" asked the knight commander.Only this can explain why the mage suddenly mentioned this soul-eating monster to them.

"Although I haven't seen the real body, I'm afraid that's the case. Although this is only the information I deduced from Baron Gray's research report, but according to the information provided by the Earl of Montenegro, it seems that this is the only way to explain why Gray, who should have died in the resident The baron will leave Zhuoliu Town in full view." As he spoke, Cheese took out a notebook with cowhide as the book cover from his arms.

"I found this in the basement of Baron Gray's temporary residence, where I also found the remains of Heather and the Hammer Knight who returned with her. The location of this notebook is absolutely impossible for ordinary humans I can get it, which also shows from the side that the baron has some abilities that are different from ordinary people at the end of the infection. This is quite a common phenomenon among people possessed by evil spirits. But the most important thing is that there are many in this notebook. It was mentioned once that he himself feels that his consciousness is becoming blurred, and many times he is completely unconscious when doing things. For example, when dissecting those knights."

Without Lothar asking for it, Cheese himself threw the note found in the basement of the two-story building to the Earl of Montenegro after he finished speaking. The content in the note was extremely scribbled, showing that the record The person is in a confused mental state, but most of the handwriting can still be read.The things described in these contents look like a horror novel written in No.1. As the recorder, Baron Gray gradually lost his mind in this continuous intermittent amnesia. At the end of the notes There are only a few pages with the repeated question "Who am I?" This question fills the last few pages of the notes. It can be seen that Baron Gray at that time had been swallowed by the monster on his body and lost himself.

The Earl of Montenegro and the Commander-in-Chief flipped through the notebook at a very fast speed. In fact, most of the contents were just meaningless questions, but the notebook mentioned Heather who was imprisoned and Lie who was dissected and dissected by "someone". Hammer Knight.Even after hastily reading these few dozen pages, Lothar and Leon's backs were already covered with cold sweat.

"Wait, if Heather was imprisoned from the beginning of her return, then why did we get a letter from her on the way to Zhuoliu Town? And when we first met Lothar, he also mentioned it Heather told him that you, the mage, are in our team." The knight commander quickly recalled what had happened before and questioned it.

"That's simple. In Heather's handwritten letter to us, I think besides mentioning the situation in Zhuoliu Town at that time, it should also implicitly hint to you that I might be the mastermind of this plague, right?" Cheese said to Leon.

The knight commander scratched his head in embarrassment. Indeed, Heather's personal letter mentioned that Cheese's identity was doubtful, so he couldn't fully believe him.It's just that Lyon didn't mention this to others in order to reduce misunderstandings.In fact, only the Knight Commander had seen the autographed letter. The reason why the content of the letter was relayed by Leon was also to stabilize the relationship with the mage.

"Well, there is such a thing, but what does it mean?" asked the blood lion.

Cheese smiled wryly and said.

"That was the other party's first attempt. It hoped to divide the relationship between me and you through Heather's letter. You simply didn't believe it, otherwise we would have no chance to sneak into Zhuoliu Town, let alone discover Gray The body of the baron. I should have noticed it at the time, but at that time I wanted to find a cure for the plague from the Dragon's Throat Pass, and I missed this opportunity."

"But even so, how do you explain Lothar's words? You know, not only him, but many soldiers in the town have seen Heather's return." The knight commander said.

"This is even simpler. Look at the count's current appearance." The mage said and pointed to Lothar who hadn't spoken just now.

The blood lion looked along the cheese's fingers, and the Earl of Montenegro frowned at this moment, as if he was trying to remember something.

"Are you thinking about the scene when you were in contact with Heather?" Cheese asked.

Lothar didn't answer, but nodded suspiciously, and looked at the mage at the same time, hoping that the other party could give an explanation.

Cheese smiled bitterly again and said.

"Actually, I'm ashamed to say it. Although I really want to say that this is some kind of magic that can tamper with people's memory, and then use it as a clue to find the mastermind behind the scenes. But I don't see the shadow of being cast on you. So either The opponent's level has far surpassed mine, or you have never been cast by anyone."

"But if I haven't been tampered with, why do I have no memory of meeting Heather?" the earl asked.

"In this world, magic is not the only thing that can give people illusions. In fact, a clever trickster or other people who are proficient in this way only need some small props, some herbs that give people a slight hallucination, and clever dialogue skills. They can It affects people's memory to a certain extent. But I don't think this should be the ability of the soul devourer, so the person who made you and even the soldiers have the illusion at that time should be someone else." Cheese said.

"Besides, I think that person also left Zhuoliu Town last night with the fake Baron Gray. Now even if you turn the town upside down, you probably won't be able to find that person's tail."

Lothar frowned and said.

"According to you, we were completely tricked this time? Everything in the past few days was actually expected by the fake baron or the people behind it?"

"I'm afraid that's the case, Lord Earl. This time, we have lost completely. But fortunately, we still have the money to come back. They probably didn't expect that I would rush back to the basement in the first place, so I was left there to die Heather was successfully rescued by me. In this way, we still have a chance." said the mage.
